Former manager says Michael cried a lot Michael Jackson increased his drug use after the child sex allegations piled up and he used to cry often, says the late pop star's former manager Dieter Wiesner who also said that Jackson was in a "pathetic condition" before he died, battling drinks and weakness. Wiesner claims that Jackson increased his drug use as the child sex allegations piled up, thesun.co.uk reported. Wiesner also reveals that Jackson cried often because he thought no one loved him and that his addiction really worsened after the Martin Bashir documentary in 2003 where he was questioned about sleeping with children. "It broke him. It killed him. He took a long time to die, but it started that night. Previously the drugs were a crutch, but after that they became a necessity. They got him through his days and insomnia-riddled nights. And the people who gave them knew what they were doing. They should never have been around him," said Weisner. "Tho

Michael Jackson fans ‘commit suicide’

Fans being urged not to self-destruct Fans of Michael Jackson have been hit hard by the star's death - 12 devotees have allegedly killed themselves following the tragic news. The King Of Pop passed away on Thursday (June 25) from a cardiac arrest and millions of his fans worldwide went into mourning. But several of them found it too hard to cope and subsequently ended their own lives, according to the founder of an online Jackson fanclub. Gary Taylor, president and owner of MJJcommunity.com, says, "I know there has been an increase (in deaths), I now believe the figure is 12. It is a serious situation that these people are going through but Michael Jackson would never want this. He would want them to live. "They (fans) can't accept it, they feel in some sort of different reality. I'm stunned that he's dead. One minute he is coming here for concerts and the next he is gone.

Rowe, who initially waived her parental rights to her two kids by the late pop s

Michael Jackson feared being killed in final weeks

He was concerned about his Beatles catalogue Michael Jackson was haunted by the fear that someone was trying to kill him in the final months of his life. The pop superstar suffered a cardiac arrest and died on June 25 after reportedly taking a cocktail of prescription pills at his home in Los Angeles - but paranoia may have led to the pain of his final days. Jackson family lawyer Brian Oxman tells the upcoming issue of Life & Style magazine, "He feared somebody wanted to kill him. "He was concerned people would kill him to somehow try to take control of the Beatles back catalogue." Reports suggest Jackson may have left the Beatles songs he owned to Sir Paul McCartney in his will. The catalogue of hits were one of the singer's leading assets. Meanwhile, close friends of the King of Pop have come forward with tales of the singer's final days, suggesting Jackson had been ill for weeks before his death.

No food, just pills in Jacko's ravaged frame at time of death

London, June 29 (ANI): Leaked autopsy details suggest that Michael Jackson was a virtual skeleton with only pills in his stomach, while his body was riddled with needle wounds and surgery scars at the time of his death. Experts reportedly found the singer's hips, thighs, and shoulders bore needle punctures, stemming from alleged injections of narcotic painkillers, given three times a day for years. A mass of surgery scars was also apparently spotted due to at least 13 cosmetic operations, while investigating the cause of King of Pop's shock death in Los Angeles on June 25.

‘I can hitch up with SRK!’

Lou Doillon French model and actress Lou Doillon describes herself as “born to showbiz”. The model who has posed for the Pirelli calendar and walked the ramp for most top designers is in the city and loving the experience. “I love it here – there is a child-like innocence about India. It is so colourful, everyone seems to be smiling and the women here are so beautiful!” she says. Lou is clued into Bollywood and Indian fashion too. “I have seen Devdas nine times. I love the movie . And Shah Rukh Khan is great. I wouldn’t mind working with him. I could be a lost French girl in India who gets hitched with this guy who gives her a lift in his car.

I left my home at 15 for I wanted to work in the films and my parents didn’t want me to join it. I met a fashion agent when I was 17 – I had short red hair

Hollywood's Bollywood saviour

The Indian billionaire Anil Ambani's big-bucks deal with Tinseltown's big players is an almost romantic tale of rescue, albeit a corporate one. It's a plot device that stretches from Dickens to Romy & Michelle: the wealthy benefactor swooping in at just the right moment. But as the credit crunch makes Hollywood financing more and more unstable, the Indian industrialist's agreement with production companies headed by celebrities such as Jim Carrey, George Clooney and Tom Hanks is worth even more to all concerned than its billion-dollar price tag. While Disney, Sony and Warners have all put their money behind their interest in the expanding Indian media market, this mammoth transaction marks a significant Indian stake in the world of Western film. Inevitably, speculation has already begun as to whether this means that Bollywood's masala will start to make an appearance in the movies of Hollywood. But amusing as it would be to see Brangelina bhangra, or to wa
